Mystics at Prayer - Paperback

by Many Cihlar (Editor), H. Spencer Lewis (Introduction by)

Mystics at Prayer is a book written by Many Cihlar that explores the spiritual practices and experiences of mystics throughout history. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of mysticism. The first part examines the nature of mysticism and the different ways in which mystics have experienced the divine. The second part looks at the role of prayer in mysticism and the different forms of prayer that mystics have used to connect with God. The third and final part of the book explores the relationship between mysticism and the wider world, including the impact that mystics have had on society and the ways in which mysticism can be relevant to modern life. Throughout the book, Cihlar draws on the writings and teachings of mystics from a variety of religious traditions, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. Mystics at Prayer is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the mystical experience, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in spirituality and the search for meaning in life.1931.
